[email protected]This recipe was a disaster! The lamb was tough and chewy, and the vegetables were mushy. The mashed potatoes were lumpy and bland. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

[email protected]This shepherd's pie was a bit too greasy for my taste. The lamb was fatty, and the mashed potatoes were too oily. The vegetables were also a bit bland. I wouldn't make this recipe again.
